• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

430cr Value

Greetings from Idaho****************************************

I apologize if this in an inappropriate post, I am new to forums. I'm trying to figure out the value of my 1982(based off frame number) Husqvarna 430cr dirtbike. My Aunt was the original owner and gave it to me in 2010 but its time for me to part ways with it. i managed to get it running after several years in storage but its been a very temperamental. Rough to start but once running it runs like a top. I had the Ohlins rear shocks rebuilt a few years ago. The only real issue is it does leak oil and the plastic fairings (particularly the airbox) are original from 1982 so they're very brittle but still all there.

I'm just trying to figure out the value of the bike, for some odd reason I'm attached to it and don't want to just see it got to the scrap yard. Any input would be appreciated.


I apologize, i cannot figure out how to rotate the images. My bad

There. Fixed it for ya. Looks like a nice rider as is... if it still runs. Value is tough on these old scoots. They're worth what someone will pay. If it were mine I'd not let it go for $1000. If I got $2000, though, I'd be surprised. I know that's not very helpful.
